20 <br /> important historical site. <br /> The area R1 is a sloped ramp that appears to have been built as a destination for the neighborhood trail that <br /> existed before I purchased the property. The view overlooking Breckenridge from the bottom of that ramp is <br /> spectacular. I collected flat rocks from around the property for over ten years, and then used them to <br /> landscape the ramp into a staircase. (South facing ramps are extremely dangerous in the winter). <br /> The area R2 was restored down to the original topsoil layer by moving the country rock, piled there by the <br /> 1867 miners,to the area containing a pile of the same rock just west of R1. <br /> The areas R3-R4 are those where I have: <br /> • Separated Rocks from Dirt using a manual 1/4" screen and placed the material into separate sandbags <br /> (none of which were processed for minerals in any way). <br /> • Scanned the material with a metal detector usually before screening. In the case of the area marked <br /> R4, the rocks are largely Skarn (which greatly interferes with a metal detector), and so the only the dirt <br /> was scanned with the metal detector on an elevated "nail-free" platform. <br /> • Deliniated the edge of the "dump" and removed all of the Gossan material thrown down the hillside <br /> by the 1867 miners and restored the area down to the original top soil surface. <br /> • All of the sandbags on the site were generated from 113-114 procedure as described above. <br /> The area R5 was restored to the original topsoil layer by throwing country rock up the hill atop an existing pile <br /> of the same rock type that I retained with lodgepole logs. This allowed me to deliniate the country rock pile's <br /> western edge. <br /> I would like to request permission to continue to restore the area outside the shaft perimeter, currently <br /> covered by the Gossan shaft debris to the state that the original discoverers witnessed upon their discovery. <br /> There is an "open cut" immediately to the south of the shaft that was dug sometime before 1881 that would <br /> be an ideal location for the bagged material. See the attached development map titled, "1883 Bullion King <br /> Patent Document" created before 1883. I've detailed the open cut over the map. <br />
